Creative. I try to make learning fun. I believe that the problem is that kids don't find learning fun so they don't want to do it. I've been tutoring my classmates, neighbor's kids & friends for a long time in specified subjects and with specific assignments. My speciality is a tie between Social Studies and English. My favorite moment is when they get that look in their eyes when they finally understand something and say "Oh! I get it now!"

Tutoring Experience (8 years): South Bay Junior Academy Tutor 2007 to 2010 2012 to 2013 Andrews University Tutor 2010 to 2011 Advanced Learners Tutor 2014 to 2015 My tutoring methods are based on the premise that all students are not the same; the learning process is unique to every individual. As such, to reach optimal levels of learning, the particular needs and tendencies of the student must first be identified in order to apply an adequate and successful learning strategy. My objective is to affirm knowledge through normative and dynamic learning strategies keyed to each individual student’s specific needs.

Ever since I began working in NYC public schools seven years ago as a licensed Paraprofessional, I became passionate about teaching while continuously learning and developing my methods of instruction working with multi-culturally diverse students with various needs. After recently graduating this year with my master’s degree in dual certification for regular and special education from Touro College, I became certified to teach grades 1-6 in NYC. As a Paraprofessional, theater instructor, choreographer, and student teacher I efficiently utilized Common Core standards while also understanding the commitment and dedication of integrated co-teaching and the importance of communication with my administration. My commitment to maximizing individual student performance through assessment and differentiated learning allows my students to flourish with ideas and excitement that can be applied in

I encourage students to engage in wide reading as they are taught appreciation of various cultures,writing perspectives, stylistic devices and historical backgrounds. Every student goes through a personal learning experience by reading literature from different time periods, and I encourage all of them to analyse and respond verbally and in writing, to what they have read. I have over 30 years teaching experience in Communication Studies, English Language, English Literature and the Art of Public Speaking/Debating. For many years I have taught SAT, ACT,and SSAT to high school students and ESL to adult learners. Teaching has been conducted on a one-on-one, group and class setting.

Literature is what i consider to be the most important art form out there. With endless possible meanings to both latent and primary meanings the post-modern world has allowed for academics and the authors audience as a whole to draw upon their own lives for interpretation.

As an educator with over ten years of experience, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help children to excel. I attended Trinity School in New York City, where I had the opportunity to receive a high-quality education. From there, I matriculated to Columbia University. At Columbia, the core curriculum and the requirements for my major consisted primarily of English and history courses. One of the main reasons that I decided to attend Columbia is because of the focus on the core. I wanted to receive a well-rounded liberal arts education. When I became a teacher, my passion for English and literature enabled me to instill a passion for reading in my students, who had previously struggled with reading. It gives me great joy to teach students and to help them become better learners. Since graduating from Columbia in 2005, I have received dual certification in Childhood E

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry. I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I
